Molecular analysis of post-transcriptional gene silencing : mechanisms and roles

This work is an investigation of post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in plants, a process that mediates sequence-specific degradation of RNA. Initially discovered in transgenic plants, PTGS has been long regarded as a curiosity, or even as an artefact of transgenesis. It is shown here that vi...
